ABOUT THE WINERY
On 10 March 2009, Liv-Ex, the leading global marketplace for fine wines, reviewed the 1855 classification to create a new classification for Bordeaux wines in the context of the modern economy. The most notable difference was the inclusion of Château La Mission Haut-Brion as a Premier Cru wine!
In May 2008, 26 journalists gathered in the London restaurant The Square to taste 51 Château La Mission Haut-Brion vintages. Prince Robert of Luxembourg invited the greatest critics in the world to take part in a rare chronological tasting from 1953 to 2005, to celebrate 25 years of the Dillon family’s ownership of the estate.
Robert Parker wrote in Vintage Profile: “In my personal collection, I have more bottles of La Mission Haut-Brion than any other wine in the world. La Mission has been one of the best wines for a long time, and one of the most constant in terms of quality.”
